GLC recently participated in the World Aviation Festival in Lisbon for the first time – a key global event shaping the future of aviation technology. Senior IT Manager, Never Kondo, represented GLC and joined industry leaders, solution providers and innovators across AI, digital operations and workforce transformation.
Several themes resonated strongly with GLC’s strategic direction:
- Agentic AI and intelligent automation to support disruption management, reporting and operational decision-making
- Digital operational resilience through data use and predictive insight to minimise risk and improve turnaround performance
- Next-generation training using VR and gamified tools to engage and upskill future aviation workforces
- Smarter workforce optimisation with AI-enabled tools that improve planning, compliance and efficiency
✅ What this means for our customers
As technology accelerates, the integration of AI, automation and digital augmentation into remote aviation services will enable:
- Faster decision-making
- More resilient operations during disruption
- Stronger reporting and performance oversight
✅ What this means for our people
Innovation is shifting toward enablement, not replacement – supporting:
- Smarter ways of working
- Skills development and capability growth
- A future-fit aviation workforce
✅ Why it matters for GLC
GLC’s attendance at WAF reflects a proactive commitment to staying ahead of industry change – not by chasing trends, but by exploring where innovation can create meaningful value for our customers and the teams delivering our services.
“Events like WAF help us stay ahead of what’s next in aviation technology – not just for innovation’s sake, but for the value it brings to our customers and teams,” says Never.
Our focus remains on practical innovation that enhances safety, efficiency and resilience across ground and remote operational services.
